Don't you just hate it when your deepest existential fears manifest themselves in reality and haunt you to madness?  Sucks when that happens.

End theme: Ulver - "Hour of the Wolf"

Happy Valentine's Day!  Let's get murdered in a mine!  What's your favorite death in this movie?

This week's pick is 1992's Candyman!  Is it a film with a lot of things to say about racism, but, like, in a 1992 kind of way?  Or just a fun monster slasher?  Let's all dig deep and examine our own racism, or maybe just chomp some popcorn.

What does jazz saxophone have to do with mass murder? Come celebrate the senseless violence of Michael Haneke's 1997 thriller Funny Games (or his 2007 American version if you wanna), and feel real bad about it!  

This week we relive our high school traumas with 1976's Carrie, based on the Stephen King classic.  

Ugh.  Guys will literally travel to the Scandinavian wilderness and get eaten by a monstrous  forest god instead of going to therapy. 

This week we discuss 2017's netflix monster thriller The Ritual!

LISTENER CHALLENGE:  Did Shaggy actually watch this movie?  Or is he bullshitting his way through this whole episode?  
Also: Is this 1944's most lesbian movie?  An LGBT icon way before the Babadook was fashionable?  Listen and find out!

How to go from a loser in a coma to a killer supersoldier in just a few days?  Find out Killian Murphy's One Weird Trick!

Can anything ever be as good again as it was in 1984?  It's tough sometimes to revisit something from your childhood and realize that maybe something was off about it that you could never place at the time.    Sometimes a cute fuzzy little creature turns ugly when you spend too much time with it.

Anyway as a special Christmas treat we're watching Gremlins!  

Special music is "Christmas Steps" by Mogwai because Chris just couldn't resist tbh. 

This week we explore the senseless (literally!) violence of 2016's "Hush" written and directed by the same folks who brought you Netflix's Hill House and Bly Manor.  This one has significantly more lingering butt shots in it than either of those, however.
